Upper Quadrant Dynamic Stability/Kinetic Control

The Mark Comerfod exercises are designed for use by the therapist who has an understanding or is familiar with dynamic stability/kinetic control or movement dysfunction concepts. The exercises are done in different positions and include control neutral, control direction (flexion, abduction, rotation), control range and stretches for upper trapezius, gleno-humeral medial rotators, gleno-humeral lateral rotators, gleno-humeral abductors, latissimus dorsi, pectoralis minor clavicular head, pectoralis major sternal head, pectoralisa minor, rhomboids, levator scapulae, anterior scalene, middle scalene, posterior scalene and sterno-cleido-mastoid. The concept of dynamic stability/kinetic control and the analysis and correction of movement dysfunction is an ongoing process of development based on clinical application and an increasing body of academic research.
